That afternoon, Elliot and Avery stopped by, having heard from La that she nned to move in with Eric. They realized that Eric had agreed to a rtionship with La, and their new status warranted a discussion.


    Avery did not have much to say to Eric as he would be too busy recovering, and this meant that La would be dominating the rtionship.


    Eric had always spoiled La and would give up on whatever he wanted in favor of whatever she wanted.


    Once the two arrived, Mrs. Santos hurried out to ask if they had eaten.


    "We have, so don''t worry about us. Sit down and take a break!" Avery pulled Mrs. Santos down to sit next to her. "Elliot and I came over because La said she is going to move in with Eric. It''s good that they decided to be together. They know each other well, and because of that, we aren''t worried about them getting into arguments in the future."


    Mrs. Santos smiled weakly. "Eric is lucky to be loved by La. She is such a brilliant and beautiful girl, and everyone loves her! Our Eric just isn''t lucky enough, I suppose!" she sighed. "We don''t even know how long he gets to be with La."


    Avery understood her concern. "Don''t overthink this. They will take however long they have with one another."


    "Yeah," Mrs. Santos said and offered enthusiastically, "Why don''t you stay for dinner? Eric can''t head out right now, so it''s best to dine here at home."


    Avery nodded. "Wouldn''t that be too much work for you?"


    "Of course, not. I bought a lot of groceries today, and the servant will help, so it''s no trouble at all." Mr. Santos smiled.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Good. About La and Eric, Elliot and I feel the same. We won''t interfere with what they do in life, but if they need help, we will do our best to support them," Avery said.


    Mrs. Santos nodded in contentment. "I feel the same. Young people should have their own lives, so we won''t interfere either. It''s just that considering Eric''s condition, La will have a tough time from now on."


    La had not intended on


    participating in the conversation at first but blurted out in response to Mrs. Santos'' words, "It''s not tough. I''m not worried at all about having to care for Eric."


    "Is Eric resting?" Avery nced at La.


    "Yeah. I went inside just now and he''s asleep."


    "He didn''t sleep long before the ident. He has been spending more time sleeping ever since he was discharged," Mrs. Santos exined.


    "He hasn''t fully recovered yet, so resting will help with his recovery," Avery said. "How is his appetite?"


    "Normal. He doesn''t eat much, but


    he can at least finish a te of pasta and the soup I made for him." Mrs. Santos recalled and smiled. "He looks better ever since he came home."


    "That''s great. So long as there''s no acute rejection, he will soon be normal again."


    "Is there any other way to fight rejection other than taking medicine?" Mrs. Santos desperately wished that her son could have the life of an ordinary person.


    "That''s the only option for the


    moment. Under no circumstances can he stop the medication. He needs to check in with the hospital every once in a while, and if he responds well, the doctor will lessen the dose." Avery had been consulting the doctors in Aryad since her return. "This is already the best-case scenario. Once the dose is


    lessened, he can live like a normal person and can have his own children."


    Both Mrs. Santos and La beamed at her words.


    "Again, that''s the best-case scenario, and it''s still too early to draw any conclusions. There''s no rush, though. I''m sure he will get there as long as he takes care of himself."


    After chatting for a while, La dragged Mr. Santos and Elliot into a game of poker as they had already sorted everything but it was still too early for dinner.


    "Ivy, do you want to join us?" La asked.
